This is a problem occurring at one site with a software version built with xHarbour / FWH 13.07. I cannot duplicate the problem on my computer, nor is it reported on any other sites with the same software running.

The problem occurs when the client processes a credit card payment. It works fine, but it is a performed using an object ( CreateObject( ). Once the transaction is completed, the next time the client uses the Codejock appointment system ( also using CreateObject( ) ), an error occurs and Windows shuts down the program. The error is not logging.

I tried the exact same procedure on my computer and it works just as it should.

Has anyone seen similar behavior ? Do you have any ideas about what I can look at to try and resolve this ?

Thanks.

Instead of using CreateObject(...), can you please try using
FWGetOleObject( cApp ) // available in FWH olefuncs.prg

or

TOleAuto():New( cApp )

This is the code of FWGetOleObject( cApp )


You notice the difference when you see the code above

I made the change and the code works but I will need to test it on my client's site to see if it makes a difference. I have not had a problem here.

I have an additional question. When creating oObj as a LOCAL, when I complete the function, shouldn't I use oObj:close( ) ? If I do, I get an error, but my error system is having problems and doesn't give me the exact error.

Tim

shouldn't I use oObj:close( )

Depends on the object. We should know whether that object has Close method or not.
Some objects have close() method and some have end() method.

I suggest you do not use either.
Next time when you need that application, the instance is created from GetActiveObject()

OK ... thanks.

I was using errorsw_ and it has not been working. It used to, but more recently it does not display the error. It was more useful than errorsys.

Maybe it just doesn't report errors with Ole objects.
